Macaroni Payasam (Kheer)

Both my husband and I love pasta, and now a days even my little one started liking Mac & Cheese. Every time I open a pasta packet I wouldn’t finish it and have some leftover. To finish the remaining uncooked pasta, I end up buying same variety of pasta again. Other day I felt like having payasam and searched for semiya, suddenly pasta pulled my attention and tried payasam with pasta. It was a big hit at home.

Ingredients:

Macaroni – 1/3 cup

Milk – 3 cups

Condensed milk – 3 tbsp

Sugar – 3 tbsp (adjust according to your sweetness)

Saffron – A pinch

Cardamom powder – pinch

Butter/ Ghee- 1 tsp

Salt – a pinch

Method:

Add ghee and macaroni to the pan; saute for a minute. Add 3 cups of warm milk and cook till the macaroni are fork tender

I would never have thought of this. A macaroni kheer! What a perfect fusion meal. I have to stay away from this as I’ve been obsessed with kheer for years. It literally has all of my favorite things, cardamom, saffron, condensed milk. Say no more!
